Addiction

Conversation overheard in my household tonight-

The Dictator: "I want to watch t.v."
The Politician" You are addicted to t.v. I think we need to take a break from it"
The Dictator "No! I am not addicted to t.v."
The Politician: "You are in denial. That's a sign of your addiction. Do we need an intervention?"
The Dictator: "No! I'm not in denial!" Followed with an angry (but light!) slap to the Politicians back
The Politician: "Your angry outburst is a sign of withdrawals, just another symptom of your disease. Once you admit you have a problem, I can help you work through it."
The Dictator: Looks at the Politician, covers her head up with a pillow and says "But I'm scared!"

LMBO. I think they've been secretly having marathon sessions of watching "Intervention" together when I'm not home.
